I'm hoping it's more like a much needed vaccine for the American zeitgeist. Get people discussing what another civil war would actually look like and hopefully get us to realize the need for civil debates.
I watched the trailer and Jesse Plemens delivery of "Yeah, but what type of Americans" sent shivers down my spine.
you can't have civil debates when one side isn't willing and are nazi terrorists. they're gonna start a civil war any day now, if historians don't put the start behind our current date, and trying to debate them civilly is letting them win. they're a dying ideology lashing out at a society that's in the process of rejecting them and we need to act accordingly or lots of people will die
A large portion of people on one side are looking to bring about a world ending apocalypse so they can be raptured. American evangelicals don't care about the world, and are ideologically incapable of civil debate and compromise. When your side is god and the other side is the devil you can't possibly meet in the middle.
That's the part that's been sticking with me as well.
That, and a creeping dread that 30% percent of the audience is going to view this film as either a masturbatory fantasy or an instructional video, but I imagine that's probably Garland's point.
I'm so glad they cast him in this
He's such a great actor. He plays the stoic psychopath really well. I couldn't remember his name, so I googled "Walmart Matt Damon" and he came right up.
These are the guys who have been auto-fellating over a second civil war for the past 15 years, and they're worried about it now??
There's literally a whole right-wing movement who picked their name because it rhymes with "Civil War Two."
But sure, calling attention to the very thing the right has been very loudly advocating for since at least 2008 is "predictive programming."
Most comments I saw just pointed out that it would be a good day in hell before California and Texas would be working together. Although one person pointed out the possibility of water source issues that both could certainly agree on.
Blaming the storm on the barometer.
Who cares what conspiracy theorist think?
because they do terrorist attacks based on their delusions
